Ive purchased this software from agile.net and there is very little resources online to watch or read on how to use this for ninja trader. Is there anyone that can help me figure out how to use this software and upload my ninjascripts so i can give out the machine id type thing?

Thanks
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Once Agile.NET is installed, open this once and enter your license key.

After Agile.NET has been opened once at the license key inserted, NinjaTrader will automatically use this when the 'Protect compiled assembly' is checked in the Tools > Export > NinjaScript Addon window.

Where are you trying to upload scripts?

Are you trying to upload to the User App Share of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem?

The MachineID is used by vendors to license scripts for individual clients in the Vender License Management console window.
Are you currently a vendor with NinjaTrader? (Do you have a vendor key?)

[andrewtrades]

Yes exactly that must be what i need is the vendor feature you just mentioned. I have developers that have built me scripts and I would like to share them privately and enable them using their machine IDs

Hello andrewtrades,

Please contact info [at] ninjatraderecosystem [dot] com if you would like to become a vendor.

[andrewtrades]

You have to become a vendor to use that feature.

[andrewtrades]

I would double check with the ninjatrader team cause im not sure if you're actually forced to sell anything. You can probably still sign up for what your intention is.

Hello marcus2300,

[information redacted]

At this time we do not publicly document or actively support getting information about the license through NinjaScript. If you are a vendor in our EcoSystem, our Business Development may be able to provide further direction for how a license type, enabled license, machineid or similar can be detected through NinjaScript.

If you would like to become a 3rd party developer for NinjaTrader please see our Vendor Licensing Management information.

This means a custom solution would be necessary if you are not intending to become a vendor.


You can export your code as an assembly (.dll) to prevent this code from being read or modified, and optionally you can use Agile.NET to prevent the code from being un-assembled (deobfuscated).

To export your script do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) you want to include -> click OK
3. Check the option labelled Export as compiled assembly
4. If you have Agile.NET installed and would like to use this, check the box labelled Protect compiled assembly
5. Click Export -> enter a unique name for the file in the Dialog window
6. Choose a save location -> click Save
7. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

Hello marcus2300,

I cannot modify any script at your request.

Unfortunately, in the support department at NinjaTrader it is against our policy to create, debug, or modify, code or logic for our clients. This is so that we can maintain a high level of service for all of our clients as well as our partners.

That said, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about NinjaScript if you decide to code this yourself.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to code this for you as a convenience to you.

You can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. The NinjaTrader Ecosystem has affiliate contacts who provide educational as well as consulting services. Please let me know if you would like our business development follow up with you with a list of affiliate consultants who would be happy to create this script or any others at your request.


The check for the machine id could be at the top of OnBarUpdate() if you wanted.

Hi Chelsea,

Can CliSecure for NT be used to secure NT8 compiled files?

Is there an alternative to Agile.Net (too expensive for non-vendors)?

Thanks.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello aligator,

No, CliSecure is the name of previous produce made by secure team for Winforms and NinjaTrader 7. The Agile.NET is for NinjaTrader 8 and WPF.

I am not aware of alternatives, but you may try a google search for these.

[aligator]

Too expensive? $100 per year is too expensive?

I don't know if your question is sarcastic or not but one can get Amazon Prime or Netflix for $100 per year instead of sharing free indicators. $100/year may not be expensive if you are a vendor and actually selling something. But for sharing free,com'on..

Protected compiling is simply for sharing intellectual property. However, matching a machine number is definitely what some vendors use to prevent sharing and protect their business. What's in your wallet?

[aligator]

so you cannot speak about "intellectual" property.

Don't hijack and pollute this thread. Read your own not-so- intellectual rambling in Posts #5 and 18:

"I am no vendor but want to share indicators with my children. For safety reasons (unable them to share my indicators with friends) I want to link the authorisation to the machine ID from my children. "

Really, you don't trust your children? You might be better off preaching to your own children first.

But you are correct to say "Anybody can say "I use it for free sharing"'' and you just demonstrated that.

Have a nicer day.

p.s. Don't bother to respond. You will be ignored.
